Need some more proof of the business world's sexism problem? Just look at how the Australian Financial Review decided to depict one of Australia's few female CEOs, Deborah Thomas of Ardent Leisure.

Thomas, the former editor of Australian Women's Weekly and Cleo, has been the head of the company - which owns theme park Dreamworld, and a bunch of health clubs, bowling alleys and marinas around the world - since March last year.

Sigh. There's probably a million ways to achieve that same play on words without resorting straight to "I've got it! Sex with a shareholder!", but misogynists tend to overlook such options when a woman's involved.
